Columbus Downtown Development Corporation & Capitol South

It’s been said that there’s nothing wrong with change — as long as it’s in the right direction. And for Columbus, the right direction is where downtown is headed right now.

Downtown is fast becoming one of the most attractive center cities in the country. Thanks to the leadership, facilitation and advocacy of Columbus Downtown Development Corporation (CDDC) and Capitol South Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation (Capitol South), there are many new City-changing projects coming online.

CDDC and Capitol South are private, non-profit development organizations led by a single Board of Directors comprised of senior business and institutional leaders.

CDDC was created in 2002 to implement the Downtown Strategic Plan, while Capitol South was formed in 1974 with the mission of redeveloping the area just south of Capitol Square.

Together, both organizations are strongly committed to downtown revitalization.
